Do You Support Islam?
Islam is very peaceful religion. Peace be upon you. We never burn girls to death or deny science like Christians do. Scholars of Islam invented algebra and many other wonderful things.
What changed for you?.........................................................................................................................................................
Islam has never caused anyone to have their head cut off. How quickly your standards change when your own religion comes under attack. A Muslim cuts someone's head off, therefore Muslims like to cut people's heads off. An atheist tyrant takes control of the Soviet Union, kills tens of millions, but no connection to atheism.
Your ignorance, double standards and full blown hypocrisy are very offensive. Lucky Allah is so forgiving. Peace be upon you.
Islam directly commands you to cut people's heads off in certain instances.
So hold on. First you said Muslims like to cut people's heads off, and now you are changing that to Muslims are commanded to cut off certain heads in certain instances? You can't even keep your own story straight, can you?
Atheists are commanded by their lack of belief in God to attack believers in exactly the same way that believers are commanded by their belief in God to attack non-believers. Your own attacks prove it. You would not be attacking me in the first place were this not true.
ou would not be attacking me in the first place were this not tru
When you see atheists stoning and beheading people for being Muslims let me know. Until then you are just a stupid little pansy whining because I know how stupid you are and conflating that with "attacking" you in any way similar to how Muslims sexually assault 9 year old girls, cut off the heads of kaffirs and butt fuck each other violently in the back alleys of south pakistan.
When you see atheists stoning and beheading people for being Muslims let me know.
Atheists put people in the gulag for much less reason that being Muslim, my poor ignorant non-believer. But they certainly put people in there for being religious. Religion was a threat to the authority of Stalin, you see. Couldn't have the church spreading the word of a higher authority. Hence, Stalin put them all in the gulag.
Here. Perhaps you should open a book my friend, instead of sharing your ignorance with us by force:-
Persecution of Christians in the Soviet Union
Throughout the history of the Soviet Union (1917–1991), there were periods when Soviet authorities brutally suppressed and persecuted various forms of Christianity to different extents depending on State interests.[1] Soviet Marxist-Leninist policy consistently advocated the control, suppression, and ultimately, the elimination of religious beliefs.
The state advocated the destruction of religion, and to achieve this goal, it officially denounced religious beliefs as superstitious and backward.[3][4] The Communist Party destroyed churches, synagogues,[5] and mosques, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with anti-religious teachings, and it introduced a belief system called "scientific atheism," with its own rituals, promises and proselytizers.[6][7] According to some sources, the total number of Christian victims under the Soviet regime has been estimated to range around 12-20 million.[8][9]
An atheist tyrant takes control of the Soviet Union, kills tens of millions, but no connection to atheism.
If Atheism commanded Stalin to kill people, that would be different. Also, the idea that Communists just killed everyone constantly is propaganda. You never hear about the 100s of millions killed by capitalism but similar numbers could be produced if the same standards were applied.
Islam is something that was always intended to be ENFORCED. It was spread through violence and enforced by violence since it's inception. It comes with a list of rules including it's own system of law and the Qur'an directly states that Islam being spread by force is acceptable. I read the Quran three times whereas you probably haven't read it once.
It's a belief system, exactly the same as atheism is a belief system.
Atheism is simply the lack of belief in a deity. That is very different from a religion which has commandments and heaps of faith-based beliefs for you to blindly accept.
People cause wars because of their religion and fight over religion
People cause wars for all sorts of reasons. It doesn't mean you should blame the reason instead of the person. Helena of Troy caused a war, so by extension you are arguing that women cause wars.
You are stupid and your double standards prove it.
It doesn't mean you should blame the reason instead of the person.
It depends on what that reason is. When people start wars over irrational, insane belief systems then it is reasonable to blame it on socially acceptable mass-schizophrenia AKA religious beliefs. If people are lacking a vital resource and fight over it then it is reasonable to blame scarcity on that war. People don't exist in a vacuum and they are compelled to do what they do whether they are reasonable or not.

No it isn't. That's absolutely stupid. When you commit a crime such as murder, rape or war, it doesn't get blamed on the fact your wife was having an affair, or your buddy stole your truck, or your neighbour believed something different than you. The person is blamed, because to do anything else is a complete aberration of logic.
The word Islam literally means peace. Peace and surrender to the will of Allah. Your anti-Islamic hate videos are trying to distort a religion literally named after peace. But it's OK. Allah forgives your ignorance. Peace be upon you.
I could invent a religion called "the way of love" which commands it's followers to inject cyanide into elderly women's nipples every October 7th to commemorate the day of it's founding.
Your anti-Islamic hate videos
That video doesn't even directly mention Islam, it's an underground horrorcore rap song about hating God and succumbing to Satan's mentality.
I could invent a religion called "the way of love"
Why would anybody invent a religion named peace if they wanted it to be about war? That's utterly stupid. It would be the worst advertisement campaign in history. You don't appear to be intellectually capable of thinking this stuff through. Islam has helped me become a great scholar, so I can help you understand. Peace be upon you.
No it doesn't. Islam means submission....................................................................................................................................................................
No it doesn't. People like you need to be banned from using Google. The Arabic word for peace, (i.e. salaam) comes from the exact same root word as the word Islam. Muslims strive for a society called Dar as-Salam, which literally translates to House of Peace.
Something cool I learned as a Muslim is that the Qur'an rhymes in Arabic in a way that is actually pretty intricate. Mohammad was one of the first rappers.
WOW! I did not know that. Do you like rap, or no?...................................................................................................................
Eminem is the master of rhyming specifically. He is able to do wordplay and flow well when he wants to but what he is able to do better than anyone else is just rhyme so many syllables that it makes your head spin. I rap in a similar way, I just spam rhymes all over the place when I rap.
Yes it does......................................................................................................................................................................
Islam like many religions is really complicated. The more you learn about the religion, the more it becomes clear that it is difficult to make any conclusions. For example, Islam in India is different than Islam in Africa which is unlike Islam in Saudi Arabia.
This is because of the hybridization factor of religion. Female genital mutilation still takes place in some parts of the world. Yet, I don't think this has anything to do with Islam and instead a local cultural phenomena. I recommend Misogyny the World's Oldest Prejudice to further explore.
Most of the fathers of modern science with laws named after them were Christians: Francis Bacon, Galileo Galilei, Robert Boyle, Gregor Mendel, James Maxwell, etc. It was their Christian convictions that led to the birth of modern science.
